Developer mode (debug mode)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The developer mode, also known as debug mode, unlocks access to advanced :ref:`tools and settings
|
|
<developer-mode/tools>` in Odoo.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
Proceed with caution, as some developer tools and technical settings are considered advanced and
|
|
may have associated risks. Only use them if you understand the implications and are confident in
|
|
your actions.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The developer mode is also available with :ref:`assets <frontend/framework/assets_debug_mode>`,
|
|
which are used to debug JavaScript code, and with :ref:`tests assets
|
|
<frontend/framework/tests_debug_mode>`, which are used to run test tours.
|
|
|
|
.. _developer-mode/activation:
|
|
|
|
Activation
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
To activate it, open the :guilabel:`Settings` app, scroll down to the :guilabel:`Developer Tools`
|
|
section, and click :guilabel:`Activate the developer mode`.
|
|
|
|
Once activated, the :guilabel:`Deactivate the developer mode` option becomes available.

|
|
|
|
To activate the developer mode **from anywhere in the database**, add `?debug=1` to the URL after
|
|
`/web` (e.g., `https://example.odoo.com/web?debug=1#action=menu&cids=1`). To deactivate it, use
|
|
`?debug=0` instead.
|
|
|
|
Use `?debug=assets` to activate the developer mode with assets and `?debug=tests` to activate it
|
|
with tests assets.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
Open the **command palette** by pressing `Ctrl + K` or `Cmd ⌘ + K`, then type `debug` to
|
|
activate the developer mode with assets or deactivate it.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Browser extension
|
|
|
|
The `Odoo Debug <https://github.com/Droggol/OdooDebug>`_ browser extension adds an icon to toggle
|
|
developer mode on or off from the browser's toolbar. It is available on the `Chrome Web Store
|
|
<https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/odoo-debug/hmdmhilocobgohohpdpolmibjklfgkbi>`_ and
|
|
`Firefox Add-ons <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/odoo-debug/>`_.

Developer tools and technical menu
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Once the developer mode is activated, the developer tools can be accessed by clicking the
|
|
:icon:`fa-bug` :guilabel:`(bug)` icon. The menu contains tools useful for understanding or editing
|
|
technical data, such as a view's field, filters, or actions. The options available depend on where
|
|
the menu is accessed from.

Database administrators can access the technical menu from the :guilabel:`Settings` app. It contains
|
|
advanced database settings, such as ones related to the database structure, security, actions, etc.
